The C-130 is like a Swiss Army knife. It can do so many things and perform an amazing array of missions.

The EC-130J Commando Solo is all about PSYOPS with its ability to broadcast both radio and color TV. The primary mission is orbit somewhere and get the message out. Gotta be a little boring for the pilots eh?

As you know, most Space Shuttle liftoff shots are in portrait format. I decided to do an artistic touch and convert to landscape (widescreen) format. I think the effect works and it makes for a unique desktop background.

Maybe you're like me. I'm concerned about how much personal information and history is on my computer. I typically flush my web browsing history, cookies, and temp files every few days. I've been thinking I'm doing a good job until yesterday.

I came across this software called Evidence Eraser and it claims it can find and delete tons of personal info off your computer that you aren't even aware is available. I installed the program and let it run. Here's what it found:

When I looked through the findings, there was personal history in the Start Menu, Log Files, and Run Command. There's also an amazing about of personal info in the Windows registry that I had no idea was there!

And this is just in the Windows section!

I won't even mention what Evidence Eraser found in my browsers and other applications.

If personal security is in any way important to you, YOU NEED TO GET THIS PROGRAM.

If that's not enough, there is another feature that makes this a MUST buy. Evidence Eraser comes with a personal file shredder that meets and exceeds the US Dept of Defense specs for file security. You might not be aware of it, but when you "delete" a file in Windows, most of the time that file could be restored by forensic software used by various police agencies.

With the Advanced Shredder, when you delete something, it is really GONE.

Not many quality pictures around yet of the F-35 series of planes, but this fighter jet will be the backbone of the USAF, USN, and USMC (along with other nations) for years to come.

This photo took some work as the color tones and exposure were off. The end product turned out nicely. Cropped it to 1680, adjusted exposure, saturation, contrast, applied a photo filter, and some sharpening.
